I have the 2018 mac mini.
I wonder if this will work as well?

Thanks for this Mark. I tried it and it did indeed work on my 2017
MBP Retina. Now, I'll have to take back those words I said about my
urging going on deaf ears at Apple. Would have been nice is they let
me know though.
Later...

Hello Everyone,
I know this was a recent topic of discussion on the list, but
according to a
friend of mine who purchased a Mac, last year, the command described
in the
article, works.
Read on for more details.

Bring back your Mac's startup chime with this simple terminal command
By Michael Potuck
Apple's Mac startup chime became an iconic signature of the company's
computers over the years and then in late 2016, it was removed for all
Macs
going forward with the exception of the 2017 MacBook Air. In a fun
development today, there's a short terminal command that's been discovered
that will bring back your Mac's startup chime.
Back in 2016, there was a similar terminal command discovered to keep the
startup chime, but Apple killed it not too long after.
Now it seems Apple has brought back the hidden option at some point with
macOS Catalina. Today, Twitter user @chaysegr shared a video showing his
MacBook Pro booting up with the iconic chime. He shared the terminal
command
that you can run to bring it back on your Mac:
sudo nvram StartupMute=%00
Type or copy and paste that command in Terminal then press return (enter
your password if required).
We verified that the command does indeed work on a couple of our machines
here at 9to5Mac.
Shortly after, @tempaccountnull discovered that "sudo nvram
StartupMute=%01"
will turn it back to the default of no chime.
For a fun look behind the scenes of the making and history of the Mac
startup chime, check out this interview with the creator Jim Reekes.
What do you think? Are you excited to have the Mac chime back? Share your
thoughts in the comments below?
Thanks, Dylan!
